As the weather in Boston turns colder and the forecast begins to predict snow in our future, I came across a very cool website that uses a special microscope to photograph of snowflakes, such as the one below.

Check out the gallery, learn about attempts at making designer snowflakes or read the snowflake FAQs, all at SnowCrystals.com, a website created by a Caltech professor.
